# Instructions:

Combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, salt and pepper in a shallow dish. In another dish, beat eggs with milk to make your egg wash.
02 -
Coat each pork chop in the seasoned flour, dip in egg wash, then coat again in flour. Let them rest for 5-10 minutes to help the coating stick better.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook pork chops for 4-5 minutes each side until golden brown and cooked through (145°F inside). Place on paper towels to drain.

In the same pan, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Keep 2 tablespoons of bacon grease, remove bacon bits. Stir flour into the hot grease and cook for a minute.

Slowly whisk in milk until smooth. Simmer 3-4 minutes until thick. Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir the crispy bacon back in.
# Notes:

Let breaded pork chops rest before frying for extra crispiness

Add chicken broth to thin the gravy if needed
